"The magical literary voice of the luscious island of Dominica. Each story is transformed by the effortless beauty of her style, and a way of looking at the world at once honest, often comic, always humane. These marvellous stories are a treasure." Carmen Callil, founder of Virago Press "The freshness and quirkiness of Allfrey's gaze into aspects of colonial life can only delight the reader. She is a West Indian writer startled by the landscape of her imagining and in love with her characters. Allfrey the artist and Allfrey the activist merge in this memorable collection of stories." Professor David Dabydeen, Warwick University "Her delicate touch, discerning eye and a heart wise to the human condition animate these stories. It Falls Into Place will confirm Allfrey's major contribution fo the development of West Indian literature and enchant new readers everywhere." Olive Senior, Jamaican poet and writer
